Finally, after phone issues, nurse Susan and I connected up and did the phone visit. She was lovely and we zipped through all the questions. I realized how many 'blanks' in a conversation I actually fill in as I was listening to her. So not a surprise that people think I can hear much better than I can. Even in the hearing tests I realized I was filling in 'blanks'. Shouldn't do that on tests! Part probably stems from hating a fail a test!
Next up is the pre op visit and Covid-19 test. I guess they also determine if they want any other tests done at that time as well.
In the meantime daughter's school has okayed day off for her to be with me during surgery time period. She is one of those people who are very good at accomplishing things and asking questions while I'm shyer at doing so. She takes no prisoners where her Mom (me) is concerned lol. Thursday night I have a number to call to confirm my arrival time - which looks around 5 or 5:30am at this point. So on the road about 4am.
So in the meantime catching up on laundry, house cleaning, lawn work, a few maintenance jobs I've been ignoring etc.
